Youth Movement Through Media

Stop the Drop Summit

Through a grant from the National Black Programming Consortium and the Public Media Corps (PMC), MPB expanded its American Graduate program to include a media institute, “Can I Kick It?”: Youth Movement Through Media Institute. The institute takes at-risk students through a course in leadership, digital literacy and video storytelling. The students are divided into “Can I Kick It?” teams to research, script and produce mini-documentaries, then take their newfound skills back into their schools and encourage their peers to graduate.
